He said “I missed you” twice. Now he only asks if she still has the umbrella. The previous version is in History if you prefer it.

Why connect

Claude writes well. Your script needs a home.

On its own, Claude gives you text in a chat. With ScreenWeaver connected, the same work goes into your screenplay, where it stays formatted, versioned and linked to your storyboard.
Claude + ScreenWeaverClaude alone
Screenplay formatting: headings, cues, dialoguePlain text
Script saved in your project
Previous version kept before every change
Characters and places linked across scenes
Storyboard shots built from a scene
Final Draft, WriterDuet and Fountain import

Claude can still brainstorm and draft on its own. The connector changes where the result lives.

Prompts to try

Six things to ask Claude today

Copy a prompt, change the project and scene names, and send it with ScreenWeaver turned on.

  • Import a draft

    Import the Fountain script I’m pasting into my project The Yellow Umbrella. Show me the preview first and ask me about any character name that looks like one I already have.

  • Move a PDF script in

    Here is my script as a PDF. Write it into my ScreenWeaver project scene by scene, with proper scene headings, character cues and dialogue.

  • Shot list from a scene

    Read scene 4 and create the storyboard shots for a one-camera, handheld shoot. Keep each shot under six seconds.

  • Subtext pass

    Read scene 7. Show me the lines where the characters say exactly what they feel, then propose a version with more subtext. Wait for my go before you edit.

  • Continuity check

    Search the script for every mention of the umbrella. Tell me which scenes it appears in, and where it should appear but doesn’t.

  • Episode overview

    Give me the outline of episode 2: scenes in order, number of shots per scene, and the scenes that have no shots yet.

Guides and tools

FAQ

Screenwriting with Claude

Can Claude write a screenplay?
Claude can draft, rewrite and critique scenes. With ScreenWeaver connected, it writes them straight into a real screenplay, in industry format, instead of leaving you text to copy and paste.
Do I need a paid Claude plan?
No. Custom connectors work on every Claude plan. The Free plan allows one custom connector, which is enough for ScreenWeaver.
Does it cost ScreenWeaver credits?
Access to the MCP is reserved for accounts with credits, included in the Auteur and Studio plans. Using the tools spends nothing: they read and write your script and shot list, and none of them consumes credits.
Will Claude change my script without asking?
Claude edits what you ask it to edit. Deleting lines or replacing the whole script needs your explicit confirmation, and the version before every change is saved in History.
Can Claude generate my storyboard images?
Not through the connector yet. Claude can create and adjust the shots: action, framing, camera, duration. Image and video generation stay in the ScreenWeaver app for now.
What does ScreenWeaver record about my conversation?
ScreenWeaver logs which tool was called and when, never your prompts or your script text. What Claude keeps from the conversation depends on your Claude settings.
Who owns the script?
You do. Your projects are private to you and the people you share them with, and you can disconnect Claude at any time in Connected apps.
